The AI gaming video editor that finishes the clip for you
Drop in a raw gameplay clip and Eklipse does the gaming video editing itself. It is built to read gameplay, not generic video, so the crosshair, the killfeed, and your facecam all stay where they belong through a 9:16 reframe, and the pacing follows the game instead of a stock template. Animated captions, meme overlays, and effects come with it. No timeline, no keyframes, and no render sitting on your PC. Tuned per title across 3,000+ games on Twitch, Kick, and YouTube.

Eklipse editor
Four steps, and the editor handles three of them
Everything runs in the browser. There is nothing to install, and no project file to keep track of.
Bring in a clip
Pull one straight from your AI Highlights list, or upload a gameplay clip you already have. Twitch, Kick, and YouTube connect directly.
Pick a layout
Choose a template for the format you are posting to. The editor sets the 9:16 crop, caption style, and safe zones to match, so nothing important sits under the UI.
The AI does the edit
Captions are transcribed and timed, the frame tracks the action, dead air is cut, and any memes or effects you picked get placed. The auto-edit pass is the part you used to do by hand.
Export or publish
Render in HD with no watermark, or send it straight to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from inside Eklipse. Rendering happens in the cloud, so your GPU stays on the game.
What the AI actually edits
Six jobs that normally eat an evening in a desktop editor, each one handled automatically and still adjustable afterwards.
Animated auto-captions
Speech is transcribed and timed word by word, then styled in gaming-native fonts that move with the audio. Most short-form is watched on mute, so this is the single edit that decides whether a clip lands. Every line stays editable before export. There is also a standalone caption generator if captions are all you need.
Memes, stickers, and effects
Drop reaction images, sound effects, zooms, and shake hits onto the timeline without cutting anything. The library is built for gaming clips, so it is the formats that already work on gaming TikTok rather than generic stock motion graphics.
Subject tracking on the reframe
Going from a 16:9 gameplay capture to 9:16 throws away two thirds of the frame. The editor tracks the crosshair, the killfeed, and your facecam and moves the crop to follow them, instead of locking to the centre and cutting off the play.
Auto-trim and pacing
Walking back to the fight, waiting on a respawn, and the silence before a round all get cut. What is left is the part worth watching, which matters more on a feed that decides in the first two seconds.
No watermark on exports
Clips render clean at up to 1080p. If you want your own branding, add a handle or logo once and it carries across every export, so a clip that travels still points back at your channel.
Publish without downloading
Post to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from the editor, or schedule a batch through Content Planner. The download, re-upload, and re-crop round trip disappears entirely.
Video editing for gaming is a volume problem
Premiere and DaVinci are better tools for one cinematic edit. They are the wrong tools for shipping twenty clips a week, which is what actually builds a channel. Most gaming editing is the same four jobs repeated, and repetition is exactly what software should be absorbing.
A desktop video editor
- Captions typed and keyframed by hand, or a paid plugin
- Crop to vertical manually, per clip, per cut
- Renders locally, so the machine is busy for the duration
- Install, licence, and a project file to keep track of
- Export, then upload again somewhere else
Eklipse AI Edit
- Captions transcribed, timed, and styled automatically
- 9:16 reframe that tracks the action across the clip
- Renders in the cloud while you keep playing
- Runs in a browser tab, on a laptop, or on your phone
- Publishes straight to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts

Game-aware editing across 3,000+ titles
This is what gaming-aware editing means in practice: templates, framing, and pacing are tuned per category, because a Valorant round and a Mobile Legends teamfight do not need the same crop or the same pacing.
Stack a run of kills into one sequence with matched pacing and a single caption style. The gaming montage maker is the free browser version of this.
The most common job. A single gameplay clip in, a captioned vertical out, sized correctly for whichever feed you are posting to.
Mobile Legends, Free Fire, and PUBG record vertically already, so the editor skips the reframe and spends its effort on captions and pacing instead.
If the cut is already done, run the clip through for subtitles alone. Useful for reaction content, where the words are the whole point.
Batch a stream's worth of clips through the same template so a Saturday broadcast becomes a week of posts without you opening each one.
Xbox and PlayStation clips edit the same way, with nothing installed on the console. See console clipping for the setup.

What streamers say about the edits
Real reviews from streamers using Eklipse on web and mobile.
“I love Eklipse. It works really well and captures moments when you laugh or say certain keywords. I love the edits too. I used to use Streamladder, but I’ve been loving Eklipse.”
“I just started streaming and didn’t know the first thing about video editing. Eklipse makes it so easy. You just link your Twitch or YouTube, and it pulls the clips for you.”
“Well worth the subscription. Cuts down time editing, and they are always adding games.”
“This is a great app! It does exactly what it’s supposed to do… after I did a stream it took about an hour or less to make 43 clips. One of the first apps I’ve found that has actually worked.”
“They are really making my job as a streamer easier, I don’t have to stop playing to clip something, it’s just automatically clipped.”
“Eklipse has clipped many vids that I’d never thought of clipping myself.”

Before and after the edit
AI Edit finishes the clip. These are the parts of Eklipse that find it and get it posted.
AI Highlights
The step before this one. It watches your whole VOD and pulls the moments worth editing, so you are not scrubbing a five-hour stream looking for them.

What is Eklipse AI Edit?
It is an AI gaming video editor that takes a raw gameplay clip and returns a finished one. It transcribes and styles captions, reframes 16:9 footage to 9:16 while tracking the action, trims dead time, and places any memes or effects you picked. It runs in the browser, and everything it does stays editable before you export.
Is there a free gaming video editor here?
Creating an Eklipse account costs nothing and takes one click through Twitch or Google. The editor itself is paid: Eklipse is a fully paid product, at roughly $12.50 a month on the annual plan or $24.99 month to month, and there is no zero-cost tier. What is genuinely free is the set of standalone browser tools, including the caption generator and the gaming montage maker. Those need no account and no card.
How is this different from a general AI video editor?
General editors treat gameplay as ordinary footage, so they crop to whoever is speaking and miss the play. Eklipse is tuned on gaming across 3,000+ titles: the reframe follows the crosshair and killfeed rather than a face, the pacing is cut for feed retention, and the template library is built around formats that already work on gaming TikTok. A general editor has no idea what a killfeed is. A gaming editor has to. The OpusClip comparison covers the difference properly.
Is this a game clip editor or a full video editor?
A game clip editor first. Everything is built around short gameplay clips rather than long-form video, so there is no multi-hour timeline, no colour grading, and no audio mixing desk. If you want manual control over layout and trimming, Eklipse Studio covers that, and a desktop editor is still the right call for a full YouTube upload. For turning one clip into a Short, the AI-based game clip editor does it in a single pass.
Do I need editing skills or a strong PC?
Neither. There is no timeline to learn and no keyframing. Transcription, reframing, and rendering all happen in the cloud, so a laptop is enough and your GPU stays on the game. One reviewer put it as not knowing “the first thing about video editing” before starting.
Can I edit clips I recorded myself, not just stream VODs?
Yes. Upload a local gameplay recording and it goes through the same editor. Connecting Twitch, Kick, or YouTube just saves you the upload step, because Eklipse pulls VODs in on its own once an account is linked.
Do exported clips have a watermark?
No. Clips render clean at up to 1080p. You can add your own channel handle or logo as a watermark if you want one, and it carries across every export automatically.
Which games does the editor handle?
More than 3,000 titles, with framing and pacing tuned per category. That covers competitive FPS like Valorant and Counter-Strike 2, battle royales like Fortnite and Call of Duty, MOBAs including League of Legends and Mobile Legends, and sandbox games like Minecraft and Roblox. Mobile titles that already record vertically skip the reframe step entirely. There are 73 game guides covering the most-clipped ones.
Where do the finished clips go?
Download them, publish straight to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from the editor, or queue a batch through Content Planner. If you would rather not touch any of it, Content Agent handles the whole loop from detection to posting.
Stop editing gaming clips by hand
Most gaming video creators lose an evening a week to this. Connect an account and put one clip through the editor. That is usually enough to tell.
